Although nothing is ready for baby, clothes, crib, room, no name... my body is ready. Or I guess I should say, feels very ready! I remember feeling great all the way until my labor pains started when I was pregnant with Mya. I swam 3x a week, lifted weights... took naps... life was all about me during my last trimester. This time around, I have the hardest time, not only finding time to workout, but just exercise itself is difficult. I feel pulling and straining in areas I've never felt before and have been advised to slow down, something I'm not too great at. But it's worth it and my love and excitement for our son have grown with each struggle I've faced this pregnancy. Not that I've had an extremely difficult pregnancy, thank the Lord. It's just that compared with my 1st, this one has been much more tiring and strenuous physically.
As for our son's name, still doing a little more searching for a middle name. Nate is sure that that we have one =) and is waiting patiently for me agree with his choice. Right now, out of all the names we've considered and can agree on, we are leaning towards Wyatt. Wyatt Christian... Wyatt Ethan... Wyatt Easton... Wyatt SOMETHING... Once in a while, I start reconsidering the name Wyatt, but my heart keeps being drawn back to it. At first, Wyatt was a definite "no" for me, but then it something changed (don't ask me what, my hormones perhaps?) and it just felt/sounded right. But enough of my ramblings on the name Wyatt and back to my girlies who need my attention. I would ask for name suggestions, but figure most everyone wants to save their favorites for future children, so I won't bother. Have a wonderful Monday!!

April Showers, May flowers...
Spring is here... although we haven't had to many "showers" and this Texas lawn could use some rain. The girls are enjoying the wildflowers (hate to call'em weeds - just too beautiful) that have popped up in our yard. Mya wants a garden so badly, so we went out today and bought some flowers to put in pots. We've been enjoying the weather, though some days are a bit warm.

I love this picture of Audrey because it is her smug "I'm so happy with myself face". She will make the most subtle expressions that are easy to miss but bring the biggest smiles to our faces.
Sweet tooth, sweet times... Sandy often allows mya to "help" her bake. Mya's favorite part is the clean-up (this is her definition of "cleaning up".Happy Birthday to my sweet sis Sandy! You are special! Love ya!

One Funny Bunny
Nate was mowing our lawn the other day and almost ran over this cute little bunny in the process. Maybe it's because I'm a mother and/or maybe it's because I'm pregnant and emotional, but I just insisted we make sure no harm come to this cute little animal. So, I convinced Nate to take us to the pet store and buy bunny food. Mya and I put the bunny in a cardboard box and made it bunny friendly (grass, flowers, lots of nature). The bunny really seemed to enjoy its new home the first night....
Isn't it so tiny? Mya's hands look huge against the bunny. I kept reminding her not to squeeze too hard.
Audrey was pretty excited about the bunny as well and I almost let her hold it... but quickly realized that this bunny would be crushed by her two chubby hands and I don't think I could have dealt with that, so we convinced her that she only wanted to pet it.
Mya trying to protect the bunny from Audrey's excited hands.
The next morning, Nate came and told me that the bunny was no longer in the box (we had closed the lid so it couldn't escape - don't worry, we put holes in the top). I have to admit, I was a little sad, but new I had to try to sound really REALLY positive when I told Mya. She took it well thankfully. The day went by and we shocked when Nate came into the kitchen that evening and told us the bunny was back in the box. "What?!!" It stayed for the night, but the next day was gone... back again at night, in the box. I left the garage door open yesterday (I searched the garage thoroughly) and thought it was gone for sure last night. However, when I went into the garage at about 10pm last night, the bunny was BACK IN THE BOX !!! I have the garage door open right now... now I'm a little worried it will leave and then try to come back at night, but the garage door will be closed... Nate reminds me it's an animal and will survive, unless eaten by a hawk, dog, predator of some sort... real comforting thought. =)
